.. Before looking it up on Google or Wikipedia of course.

Black metal, vikings, and black metal and vikings at the same time. And yes I can, to the left of Sweden and right above Denmark.

A) Slartibartfast winning an award for Norway's coastlines.
B) The two Norwegian dudes I met traveling Ireland in 2009.

Cold. Fishing. Blondes. Vikings. Reindeer.

I think so. Long country north across the sea from the bulk of Europe. I do admit I sometimes mix up Norway's location with Sweden, but I think it's the one just west of Finland.

Edit: Gah. Mixed it up with Sweden again. :(

Yeah I can find it on a map.

The first associations are cold mountains, ice, crystal skies and The Snow Queen.

Oil, wealth and abundance, fjords, spectacular scenery.

Also, when I think of Norway, I think of how cool it might be to go there.

I think of snow, and the 1990 movie "Shipwrecked".

Maps are old school.
I can find Norway on Google Earth, no problem.
